Dear Comrade!*

I have just written to Scarete (about Haidukievich). But since you did not give me Haidukievich's address, I wrote to Scarete that Haidukievich will call on him, citing my postcard. So, write to Haidukievich at once.

I was ill with influenza and have not yet fully recovered; for this reason I have not replied myself. I hope you will forgive me.

The London Conference turned out to be an utter abomination, as was to be expected. Of course, there was no way to prevent it. Best greetings to your family and to all friends in Zurich.

Yours, Lenin**
